Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9613069A1] In encapsulating an optocomponent with a plastics material an MT-connector compatible interface is obtained having bores (107) for guide pins in the wall of the capsule and optical connection surfaces (110). These bores (107) are obtained from mould cavity guide pins which are used for aligning the optocomponent in a mould cavity in a mould in the moulding operation of the encapsulating material on top of the component. In order to achieve a good accuracy in the positioning of the component during the moulding operation the mould guide pins are as short as possible and end directly behind the component where they are supported by projections extending from each mould half. Thus cavities (109) are created extending straight through the capsule (105) behind the component. The cavities (109) allow that the guide pin bores (107) are cleansed and that material residues are removed after the moulding operation. Further, the cavities (109) can be used for spring clamps which are used for retaining the optocomponent capsule (105) at an optical connector having a similar interface. The clamps can then have tongues which are inserted in the cavities (109) and which, in addition, can be provided with holes, through which the guide pins can be pushed to safe-guard the clamp against being lost.
